Oh hai General, Good afternoon to you.

[Bman212121]

What do you have going on today?

[Bman212121]

I need to find me a new computer case.

[Bman212121]

I got a new server setup, but the cooler is too big to fit in my current case.

[Bman212121]

The case looks like this: http://www.ultraproducts.com/product_details.php?cPath=13&pPath=250&productID=250

[Bman212121]

Only it's a dark blue color.

[Bman212121]

I think the case should actually be wide enough to fit a TRUE

[Bman212121]

But the main problem I've have with more than one board and this case is that the spacing between the psu and the board isn't enough.

[Bman212121]

The board almost touches the side of the psu.

[Bman212121]

So when the cpu socket is pushed towards the edge of the board

[Bman212121]

A lot of the bigger coolers overhang the board, which mean that the PSU gets in the way.

[Bman212121]

One time I had put the board, cpu and HSF all together outside of the case.

[Bman212121]

Then I tried to lower it into the case, and it took me a minute to figure out why it wasn't working quite right.

[Bman212121]

I could get it into the case because there is a little extra room at the bottom, but it wouldn't line up right. That's when I figured that out.

[Bman212121]

I would have put my Zalman 9700 onto the old setup, but instead I needed to swap it for the Zalman 9500 because it wouldn't fit.

[Bman212121]

That one doesn't overhang the board so it barely fits in there, but it has worked quite well.

[Bman212121]

I had thought about getting an actual 3U server case this time around, but I don't know if 3U is tall enough to hold the TRUE.

[Bman212121]

Nope I guess not. I just found a 4U case at Newegg.

[Bman212121]

It says that it's only 7" tall.
